Free Wi-fi??


Possibly apart from the large hotels I have come to learn that in Botswana free wi-fi is an oxymoron.  Free wi-fi means no wi-fi!

Several times I have been in Gaborone and decided to stop at a restaurant for lunch or a coffee shop for coffee and a snack and while there tried to use their advertised free wi-fi to check email during the mid-day.

Each time I have tried it has been an exercise in total frustration!

Speeds must down at the rate of the good old dial-up service which ultimately means your connection gets dropped.  Alternatively, 2 or 3 times at each session the connection gets broken and you must log in again.  Thus, I have concluded until I can get a recommendation from a friend or relative about a good location for internet access in Gaborone, I’m not going to even try anymore.
